PhantomJS 1.8, Blue Winter Rose, was released on December 21, 2012. It integrated Ghost Driver, an implementation of WebDriver Wire Protocol.
WebDriver support via Ghost Driver integration
Ghost Driver, a project by Ivan De Marino, is an implementation of WebDriver Wire Protocol. In this PhantomJS release, Ghost Driver functionalities have been fully integrated.
To launch PhantomJS in Remote WebDriver mode at the intended PORT number:
phantomjs --webdriver=PORT
The following example, written in Ruby, assumes PhantomJS WebDriver is running on port 9134.
The script will load Google, submit a search for the term “PhantomJS” and print the page title
of the search result page:
require "selenium-webdriver" driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for(:remote, :url => "http://localhost:9134") driver.navigate.to "http://google.com" element = driver.find_element(:name, 'q') element.send_keys "PhantomJS" element.submit puts driver.title driver.quit
